Linda was a Silver Sister member of the Alpha Delta Kappa International Sorority for Women Educators. In her 34 years as a member of Alpha Gamma Chapter, she served as president and in many other leadership roles. The role of giving back by volunteering was very important to her. She volunteered at Kitty Askins Hospice Center, Wayne Memorial Hospital, First Presbyterian Church, and served as a guardian ad litem.
A Service Celebrating Linda’s Life will be held at her church, First Presbyterian Church, at a later date when the community can attend freely and after the warnings for the COVID – 19 virus have lifted. They will plan to greet friends following that service at the church.
